Acute Kidney Injury Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden drop in kidney function over hours or days, usually due to severe infection, dehydration, low blood pressure, some medicines or a blockage. Urine output may fall and creatinine rises quickly. Unlike chronic kidney disease, AKI often improves fully with timely hospital treatment. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, AKI is treated with fluids, ICU care and dialysis when needed.
Understanding the Condition
AKI vs Chronic Kidney Disease
AKI develops suddenly and is often reversible if the cause is treated quickly. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) develops slowly over months or years and usually cannot be reversed. People with CKD, diabetes or heart disease are at higher risk of AKI during illness.
Common Causes
- Severe infection or sepsis
- Dehydration from vomiting or diarrhoea
- Very low blood pressure or blood loss
- Painkillers and some other medicines
- Kidney stones or prostate blockage
- Snake bite and some poisonings
